Choose Your Seed Quantity

Available in packs of 10, 25, or 100 seeds. Select your preferred quantity before adding to cart. This listing is for seeds, not live plants or fresh pepper pods.

Starting Seeds Indoors

• Use a clean, well-draining seed-starting mix and sow approximately 1/4 inch deep.
• Provide steady warmth; a seedling heat mat can help maintain warm soil.
• Keep the mix evenly moist, not saturated, and allow good air circulation.
• Be patient: germination can take several weeks and may be uneven.
• Once seedlings emerge, provide bright light and avoid allowing the growing medium to dry out completely.

Transplanting and Plant Care

• Gradually harden off seedlings over one to two weeks, increasing outdoor exposure slowly.
• Transplant after frost danger has passed and soil and nighttime temperatures are consistently warm.
• Choose a sunny, well-drained site with fertile soil.
• For container growing, use a pot of approximately 5 gallons or larger with drainage holes.
• Water regularly during hot, dry weather without leaving roots waterlogged.
• Feed according to the directions on your chosen vegetable fertilizer.
• Harvest when pods develop their mature chocolate-brown color.

Superhot Pepper Safety

Wear gloves when handling peppers or processing harvested pods. Avoid touching your eyes, face, or other sensitive areas, and wash hands and equipment thoroughly afterward. Keep seeds and harvested peppers away from children and pets. Use good ventilation when cutting or cooking superhot peppers and begin with very small amounts.
